Project description:The majority of Saccharomyces cerevisiae snoRNA promoters contain an aRCCCTaa sequence motif located at the upstream border of a TATA-containing nucleosome-free region. Genome-wide ChIP-seq analysis showed that these motifs are bound in vivo by Tbf1, a telomere-binding protein known to recognize mammalian-like T2AG3 repeats at sub-telomeric regions. Tbf1 has over 100 additional promoter targets, including the TBF1 gene itself. Tbf1 is required for full snoRNA expression, yet it does not influence nucleosome positioning at snoRNA promoters. Analysis of Tbf1-binding sites in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by ChIP-seq of a Myc-tagged strain and a control untagged strain. 1 sample per strain, 1 lane per sample.

Project description:DNA replication requires the faithful propagation of both genetic and epigenetic information. There is evidence that DNA polymerases play a role in transcriptional silencing, but the extent of their contribution and how it relates to heterochromatin maintenance is unclear. To get a better understanding of the role of POL2A, the catalytic subunit of the DNA polymerase epsilon, into maintaining heterochromatin silencing, we performed mRNA-seq on Arabidopsis plants carrying a new hypomorphic pol2a mutation. We deepened our analysis by profiling transcriptomes of other silencing mutants or combinations of pol2a with other mutations.

Project description:Pepper fruits at four different developmental stages were collected: early fruit [EF; 1 cm long; 7 days after pollination (dap)], mature green fruit (MG; 6-7 cm length; 20 dap), breaking or turning red fruit (BR; fruit are partially red; 35 dap), and red ripe fruit (RR; fully red; 40 dap). Tomato fruits at corresponding developmental stages were also collected: EF (less than 1cm; 7 dap), MG (40 dap), BR (50 dap), and RR (55 dap). For the monitoring of fruit-specific and fruit ripening-related genes, we did array hybridization by using the leaves as a common reference and each corresponding fruit developmental stage sample.

Project description:Heterochromatin transcription is functionally important, for instance to establish heterochromatin silencing or condensation, but the factors allowing transcription in a repressive chromatin environment are little known. To gain insight in this process, we triggered heterochromatin transcription using heat stress or mutations for the silencing factors DDM1 or MOM1 and generated mRNA profiles of med14 and uvh6 mutants in these different contexts. We used rosette leaves incubated 24h in dH2O at 23°C for control stress and 37°C for heat stress. Our data and analysis suggest that UVH6/XPD/RAD3 is involved in a heat stress specific transcriptional process where it promotes transcription of most but not all genes. MED14 promotes transcription at a more reduced number of loci during heat stress, and preferentially targets heterochromatic loci. In addition, MED14 is required for heterochromatin transcription without heat stress, but this function is lost when heterochromatin properties are disrupted, suggesting it is specifically involved in transcription of heterochromatic sequences. In addition, bisulfite-seq of med14 mutants indicates that MED14 participates in RNA-directed DNA methylation, suggesting that MED14 is required both for heterochromatin transcription and formation.

Project description:Fruits of the tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) cultivar MicroTom were investigated. MicroTom wild type and lecer6 mutant fruits with a deficiency in a fatty acid beta-ketoacyl-CoA synthase (LeCER6) were used. Identification and characterization of this insertional mutant has been reported previously (Vogg et al., 2004; Leide et al., 2007). According to the developmental stage of the wild type and lecer6 mutant fruits, samples were composed of 5 to 15 whole fruits with seeds being removed (fruit developmental category 'fruit set' and I). Otherwise, samples contained exclusively the fruit peel, which was removed with a scalpel to a depth of approximately 1 mm (fruit developmental category II to VII). After sampling point the plant material was immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80 C until use.

Project description:Mature green fruits of the tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) cultivar MicroTom were investigated (fruit developmental category II). For removal of the epicuticular wax layer a thin film of 1 g ml-1 aqueous gum arabic (Roth, Karlsruhe, Germany) as a fixative was applied to the fruit surface. After 1 h the dried polymer including the outermost epicuticular waxes was mechanically removed. This procedure was repeated once. During this experiment the tomato fruits remained on the tomato plant. Untreated (0 days) and gum arabic stripped tomato fruits harvested 2 days after treatment were compared. Samples contained exclusively the fruit peel, which was removed with a scalpel to a depth of approximately 1 mm. After sampling point the plant material was immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80 C until use.

Project description:Background The set of all mRNA molecules present in a cell constitute the transcriptome. The transcriptome varies depending on cell type as well as in response to internal and external stimuli during development. Chili pepper is an economically and culturally important horticultural crop as well as a good model for the study of secondary metabolism during fruit development. Here we present a study of the changes that occur in the transcriptome of chili pepper fruit during development and ripening. Results RNA-Seq was used to obtain transcriptomes of whole Serrano-type chili pepper fruits (Capsicum annuum L.; 'Tampiqueno 74') collected at 10, 20, 40 and 60 days after anthesis (DAA). 15,550,468 Illumina MiSeq reads were assembled de novo into 34,066 chili genes. We classified the expression patterns of individual genes as well as genes grouped into Biological Process ontologies and Metabolic Pathway categories using statistical criteria. For the analyses of gene groups we added the weighted expression of individual genes. This method was effective in interpreting general patterns of expression changes and increased the statistical power of the analyses. Subsets of genes were expressed only at a single time point sampled (1,278, 1,596, 1,519 and 1,583 genes at 10, 20, 40 and 60 DAA, respectively). We also estimated the variation in diversity and specialization of the transcriptome during chili pepper development. Approximately 17% of genes exhibited a significant change of expression in at least one of the intervals sampled. In contrast, significant differences in approximately 63% of the Biological Processes and 80% of the Metabolic Pathways studied were detected in at least one interval. Confirming previous reports, genes related to capsaicinoid and ascorbic acid biosynthesis were significantly upregulated at 20 DAA while those related to carotenoid biosynthesis were highly expressed in the last period of fruit maturation (40-60 DAA). Our RNA-Seq data was validated by examining the expression of nine genes involved in carotenoid biosynthesis by qRT-PCR. Conclusions In general, more profound changes in the chili fruit transcriptome were observed in the intervals between 10 to 20 and 40 to 60 DAA. The last interval, between 40 to 60 DAA, included 49% of all significant changes detected, and was characterized predominantly by a global decrease in gene expression. This period signals the end of maturation and the beginning of senescence of chili pepper fruit. The transcriptome at 60 DAA was the most specialized and least diverse of the four states sampled. RNA-seq libraries of whole chili pepper (Capsicum annuum Serrano 'Tampiqueno 74' landrace) were prepared from fruits at 10, 20, 40 and 60 days after anthesis (DAA). Two biological replicates of each fruit state were prepared (8 libraries in total). Libraries were sequenced in the Illumina MiSeq platform. The title of the libraries are: <DAA>repbio<#> where <DAA> are the days after anthesis (10, 20, 40 or 60) and <#> is the number of biological replicate, 1 or 2. Details follow. Biological material and RNA extraction Capsicum annuum Serrano 'Tampiqueno 74' seeds were germinated and the seedlings were cultivated until maturity under greenhouse conditions in a completely randomized experimental design at Cinvestav-Unidad Irapuato (Guanajuato, Mexico). The plants were grown during the spring and summer, and individual flowers were tagged at anthesis. Chili pepper fruits were randomly collected from different plants at 10, 20, 40 and 60 DAA. After sampling, the fruits were cleaned with ethanol immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80C until further use. For total RNA extractions, 10 fruits at the 10 DAA developmental stage and 5 fruits from each of the 20, 40 and 60 DAA stages were randomly selected from the pool of all harvested fruits. Whole fruits (pericarp, placenta and seeds) were ground in liquid nitrogen with a mortar and pestle to form a fine uniform powder. Samples were mixed vigorously and 100 mg aliquots were measured for each RNA extraction. The process was repeated with different sets of fruits in order to obtain two independent biological replicates at each developmental stage. A NucleoSpin RNA Plant kit (Macherey-Nagel) was used for total RNA extraction and contaminating genomic DNA was removed by DNase I (Macherey-Nagel) treatment following the manufacturers' protocols. Total RNA concentration was quantified using a NanoDrop ND-1000 spectrophotometer (Nano-Drop, Wilmington, DE, USA) and RNA quality was evaluated by gel electrophoresis on 1.0% denaturing agarose gels. In addition, aliquots of RNA were run on an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer using RNA 6000 chips (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA, USA) to test the RNA integrity number (RIN). All eight samples had RIN values higher than 8.7. Thirty ?g of total RNA from each of the eight samples (two biological replicates of four fruit developmental stages) was used for cDNA library preparation. Library construction and sequencing The eight total RNA samples (two biological replicates from chili pepper fruits at 10, 20, 40 and 60 DAA) were prepared for RNA-Seq using the Illumina TruSeq RNA Sample Preparation v2 Guide following the manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, mRNA was purified from 20?g of total RNA using poly-T oligo- attached magnetic beads using two rounds of purification. During the second elution of the poly-A RNA, mRNA was fragmented using divalent cations under elevated temperature and primed for cDNA synthesis. The cleaved RNA fragments were primed with random hexamers and reverse transcribed into single-stranded cDNA using reverse transcriptase. In the next step, the RNA template was removed and the complementary cDNA strand was synthesized using RNAse H and DNA polymerase I, respectively. The overhangs that resulted from fragmentation were polished into blunt ends using an End Repair Mix (consisting of T4 DNA polymerase, Klenow fragment and T4 polynucleotide kinase). A single T nucleotide was added on the 3' end of the adapter for ligating the adapter to the cDNA fragments. Indexing adapters were ligated to the ends of the cDNAs using T4 DNA ligase, preparing them for hybridization onto a flow cell. Finally, the DNA fragments with adapter molecules at both ends were amplified by PCR to enrich the amount of DNA in the library. PCR was performed with a PCR primer cocktail that anneals to the ends of the adapters. Quantity and quality of the DNA libraries was assessed using Agilent DNA-1000 chips on an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer. The 8 cDNA libraries were pooled and simultaneously sequenced from both 5’ and 3’ ends using the Illumina MiSeq System platform according to the manufacturer's instructions. We performed three sequencing runs (technical replicates) with the aim of increase the sequencing depth. 150 bp paired-end reads were obtained in each sequencing run. Fluorescent image processing, base-calling and quality value calculations for each of the three runs were performed using Illumina MiSeq Control Software. Data were deposited at the NCBI (GEO database under series record GSE54123).
